Free tier	Unlimited storage for public, non-embeddable videos; 3 GB total for embeddable and non-public videos. This is a 2024-onwards rewrite of the old '500 MB/week' rule — the weekly quota now applies only to legacy paid Plus/Pro accounts, not Free. unit GB; metered on stored-bytes
Price	none stated
Per-object cap	200 GB per file (200000000000 bytes)
Retention	The killer is not quota, it is that Vimeo deletes exactly the thing you want to store: 'your source file will be permanently deleted if you are a Free or Basic member'
Egress	Unlimited bandwidth for public non-embeddable videos; 1 TB/month for embeddable and non-public. No per-GB charge on Free. free_allowance: 1 TB per month
Identity	email (placeholder) not published
Limits	per-object-cap 200 GB per file source per-object-cap 200 GB/file source ~200 GB per file advised for a successful upload, and no video longer than 24 hours. That 200 GB/file is genuinely large.
Binding	per-object-cap the per-object cap sets the shard size and therefore the object count; it bounds the total more tightly than any headline quota
Interface	rest rest
Tooling	yt-dlp `vimeo` extractor (verified present), but the extractor errors without cookies: 'The web client only works when logged-in'. Vimeo API v3 `me/videos` exists but download links are plan-gated.
Composes with	Unlimited public videos x unlimited free accounts. In principle unbounded capacity at zero cost — the only thing stopping it is the original-file problem below.
Reliability	The killer is not quota, it is that Vimeo deletes exactly the thing you want to store: 'your source file will be permanently deleted if you are a Free or Basic member'. Free accounts also cannot enable downloads at all, so there is no supported retrieval path.
Notes	Unlimited storage for public, non-embeddable videos; 3 GB total for embeddable and non-public videos. This is a 2024-onwards rewrite of the old '500 MB/week' rule — the weekly quota now applies only to legacy paid Plus/Pro accounts, not Free.
